Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cook and stir until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp, cook and stir until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour and white wine. Pour in milk gradually, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook until white sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove white sauce from heat. Stir in rice until evenly mixed. Add Parmesan cheese, dill, salt, and black pepper. Cool until mixture is easily handled, about 15 minutes.
